The website of Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa has been awarded the Silver Seal for Usability and Accessibility, a recognition that attests to the application of best practices in digital development.

This distinction, an initiative by the Agency for State Technological Reform (ARTE) and the National Institute for Rehabilitation (INR), aims to simplify and make the use of online public services more efficient, with particular attention to people with disabilities or incapacities.
The website, launched in July of this year, complies with the latest guidelines, including WCAG 2.2 AA and the European standard EN 301 549. It was developed internally by the Directorate of Information Systems and Technologies (DISTI) with the goal of effectively meeting the diverse needs of all users, promoting inclusion.
